Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly loyal and lovable breed of dog, popular for their long, low-to-ground bodies and characterized by their big personalities. Dachshunds are known for their intelligence and ability to problem solve. Dachshunds can be vocal, barking to protect their home or to alert you of a potential danger. Exercise is important for Dachshunds, who need regular walks, playtime, agility courses, and even hikes. Dachshunds can thrive in hot or cold weather and generally adapt well to both.
The coat of a Dachshund can be short and smooth, or it can be longer and wiry. Generally, it is a double coat that is made up of a soft, downy undercoat and a topcoat of stiffer hairs that will repel water and dirt. Depending on the variety, the topcoat can range from fine and smooth, to wire-haired with coarse guard hairs. The colors can vary widely, and many are two-tone with rich colors that can include cream, tan, red, or a mix of these.
Dachshunds should be provided with a high-quality, age-appropriate and balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs. Common food items to consider for a Dachshund include dry food developed especially for small dogs, canned food with real meat proteins, fresh vegetables, dairy products, and occasional treats such as boiled chicken, fish, or eggs. It is important to avoid certain human foods such as chocolate, onions, and grapes. Moreover, it is also important to avoid certain items such as uncooked bones, as this can be dangerous if ingested.
Preparation for a new Dachshund should include researching their specific breed traits, such as their energy levels, diet requirements, and potential health problems. Ensure you are equipped with any necessary supplies for their nutrition, health, and well-being; including suitable bedding, bowls, toys, grooming essentials, and vaccines. Additionally, it's important to learn about their specific potty-training needs and any commands you may want to teach. Providing consistent and gentle instruction is key for training them to become a happy member of your family.
Dachshunds, commonly known as sausage dogs, come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size is usually between 8 and 9 inches tall and 16-32lbs in weight while the miniature variety is 5-6 inches tall and less than 11lbs in weight. Depending on the size of a Dachshund, they can reach a maximum height of up to 9 or 12 inches respectively.
Yes, Dachshunds are active dogs, though they tend to be highly-energized in shorter bursts. Typically they have a moderate activity level, and love going for walks or hikes. They are easily trainable, and therefore can be taught commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'fetch'. However, they can equally thrive with indoor activities such as playing fetch or exploring the house. With moderate exercise and mental stimulation, Dachshunds can make a great companion as they can be adaptable to many environments.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds get along quite well with other pets. Although they are known for their independent streaks, these dogs are very social and love to be part of the family. They are usually fine with other non-canine pets, such as cats, birds, and small animals, as long as they are used to them. Dachshunds may even bond with them and become friends. However, when it comes to other dogs, they may be wary and usually need to be introduced slowly and properly to ensure they will get along.
The amount of time you should spend each day training a Dachshund depends greatly on the dog's age, energy level, and level of obedience. Typically, the younger the dog, the more time is necessary to learn the basics of obedience. With puppies, you typically need to spend at least 10 minutes multiple times a day to ensure that they take in the information and develop the skills necessary to be a well-behaved dog. For an adult Dachshund, you could realistically spend as little as 10 minutes per day on basic obedience training.
